Ned Miller Rorem was an American composer of contemporary classical music and a writer. Best known for his art songs, which number over 500, Rorem was considered the leading American of his time writing in the genre. Frequently described as a neoromantic composer, he showed limited interest in the emerging modernist aesthetic of his lifetime. As a writer, he published numerous diaries in which he spoke candidly of his exchanges and relationships with many cultural figures of America and France.

Philip Radcliffe states: “I attended evensong in the Chapel of my future College (King’s College, Cambridge) and can still recall the impact made upon me by the quiet, other-world sound of the choir. He became a music fellow at King’s College in 1931, and a lecturer between 1947 and 1972. He lived in King’s for the rest of his life, never leaving it for more than a few weeks. Radcliffe’s compositions include short choral pieces, liturgical music, songs, and a small number of instrumental works.
